Stranger Erupts At Post Office
DEAR MISS MANNERS: I was standing in line at the post office, wearing a mask. The man in front of me turned around and started shouting at me for wearing a mask.
I chose to ignore his initial shout. He continued shouting, telling me his views on masks, virus protocol and radio shows that are telling the truth.
No one else in line, nor any employee, said anything. He got called to the window, conducted his business, and proceeded to shout at me again as I was leaving.

There have been several posts here describing similar behavior and I have to stop and think: who are these people who think that they can harass total strangers wearing masks?
And I think that it really started with Whiny Donny: his vulgarity, his boorish behavior. I really cannot remember people behaving like that before 2016 including the threatening behavior on aircraft. But perhaps I am living in a bubble.

This man is very lucky I was not there.
